What is a Guard Booth's Purpose?
A guard booth, also known as a security booth or guard shack, is a small, secure building made to protect security personnel at facility entrances. It helps monitor who comes in, check IDs, and control access so that only approved people and vehicles enter.
These guard shacks work as security checkpoints, managing entry and exit, monitoring traffic, and maintaining site safety.
